Here's How Brad Pitt Got Approximately $40 Million Richer This Month

Brad Pitt is already one of the richest actors in the world, with a reported net worth of $400 million. This week, however, he's approximately $40 million richer after selling his long-time home.

People reports that Brad has "found a buyer" for his "sprawling estate" in Los Angeles, which he put on the market for ~$40 million back in January. And while the exact amount that Brad ended up getting for the home is under wraps, he's turning a significant profit considering he purchased it for "just" $1.7 million back in 1994.

Apparently, Brad is now "looking for something smaller" in the L.A. area, though let's not forget that he also recently purchased a cliffside bachelor pad in Carmel, which just so happened to be the most expensive home ever sold in the area. According to The Daily Mail, Brad's Carmel Craftsman place has its very own name (Seaward), and is built on a cliff with "locally quarried sandstone and granite." Sounds like a castle to us.

And speaking of castles, quick survey of Brad's other properties: he and Angelina Jolie famously owned a winery together in France, as well as a New Orleans mansion that they sold for $4.5 million, and a “superyacht” worth an estimated $322 million. Brad also bought a $3.1 million villa in Mallorca around the time of their divorce, and at one point owned a beach house near Santa Barbara worth at least $4 million and a $8.4 million mansion in Malibu (which he sold to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi for $12 million).

That just about covers it all, we think.
